Curves in Landscape

The focus of the image is in the midground where the three trees are, the line of the hill they are seated on roughly goes along the rule of thirds top horizontal line, with each of the outer threes of the three marking a vertical line.  This image also has a great focus on curve. Firstly the curvature of the hill themselves from left to right and the change in steepness can be seen. Then also the roundness and shape of the hills vertically across the page, the paths appearances from this perspective do a lot to add to the feel of shape for it. The distortion of the path on the front hill gives the impression of the hill being curved giving it a better sense of depth. While the path on the further hill shows us how steep the hill is while also revealing its scale as we have the two path segments to compare. The hedge on the left edge of the further hill also reveals the hills shape by its curve as you can see it rising across the hill and the then disappearing steeply down the other side, giving a real impression of depth.
